Cruz is a good player when healthy but I don't think I would want to take snaps away from young guys when the likelihood is he will get hurt again.

The problem is that those snaps for the young guys come at the detriment of your QB.

My guess is that they are going to prioritize the QB having success, which makes Cruz make more sense.

It doesn't make more sense in our situation...get the young WRs out there this year with Glennon so when Trubisky takes over next year those young guys have snaps under their belt...2017 really doesn't matter when it comes to wins.

I agree 100% if you are okay with under the busing Glennon a little. I am okay with that.

When White was playing last season, the one thing I consistently heard from scouts with other teams was that his route running was sub-par.

Well, I'm glad my eyes don't lie to me.

I personally have given up on him.

But the Bears need him to be something pretty badly.

Bubble and tunnel screens, slants, and some go routes.

I look at White's footwork/route-running, then turn on Amari Cooper's tape and I start weeping.

Had we spent a 3 and 4 to trade up from 7 to 4 to take Cooper do you think people would have bitches as much as they did for the Trubisky deal?

"WE COULDA STAYED AT 7 AND HAD KEVIN WHITE!!!"

I kid, but all things considered how that played out may well have been a factor in us making small moves up for Floyd and Trubisky.

This, so much this. People always complain about picks, but every draft pick and everything associated with it need to wait 3 years, then you can start to grade everything. If White breaks out for 90/1300/8, will we be still be upset that he had some random injuries in his first 2 years?_________________

Hurting after today tho is Denzel Washington...5-10 1/2" is a concern...Chris Borland helps him but the 1st round is out of reach now if it wasn't already.

Of course not, but what in the name of logic makes you think he can break out like that? So far, all he has proven to be able to break are his bones.

He was a raw, poor-route-running athlete that needed experience and coaching when he was drafted. This is year 3 and guess what? He's a raw, poor-route-running athlete that needs experience and coaching. The only difference is he has broken his leg, twice._________________

My point is you can find a franchise guy like [Derek] Carr in every draft
